Synopsis
John Sheirer embarks on the hike of a lifetime. Have you ever wanted to scale Mount Everest or hike the Appalachian Trail?? John Sheirer did, but, like most, he had responsibilities and needed to stay close to home. Being a resourceful New Englander, John managed to find his adventure nearby... on the McCann Trail in Somers, CT. Vowing to hike the trail for 365 days straight, he discovered that his 2-mile trek held just as many obstacles and discoveries as the longer, more treacherous versions.
Synopsis
After knee surgery, a broken relationship, and some soul searching, John Sheirer decided to hike the same two-mile trail every day for one year, starting on his 44th birthday. He did it, writing about it in short (365-word) essays that make up this wonderful, quirky collection. John Sheirer lives in Connecticut and is a prominent member of the Northern CT Land Trust.
